Contacting Speedware, owner R.D. had 4 areas of customization in mind. 1st classic looks: Media blast for rust removal and new coat of green, custom wheels and new exterior trim. 2nd performance handling: Detroit Speed front suspension and steering upgrade, rear suspension Quad-link also from Detroit Speed. 3rd Massive increase in power: Remove the Small Block Engine no matter the performance level and replace with an impressive 572cid monster from GM, coupled to a Tremec 600 5 speed transmission and 12 bolt differential. Exhaust it thru custom headers and 2.5" or 3" pipes and mufflers. 4th custom feel: with traditional appointments in the pass compartment, Custom AutoMeter Gauges to monitor vitals, Recaro SRD seats with custom Green stitching to match body color, all straight black leather interior with Green piping and possible Green stitching.

From the beginning of concept design, R.D. and the Speedware staff have been excited to get under way on this sure to be street monster and encourage you to check in periodically to see the progress and completion in mid 2007.
